SOMERSWORTH — Two men were arrested Friday afternoon following a search warrant that turned up more than 100 grams of heroin, $50,000 in cash, and several firearms at their city residence.

Matthew Sauvageau, 33, and Jamie Eaton, 40, both of 3 Ringer Drive, Somersworth, were arrested at a Route 108 business at around 3 p.m. Friday.

The Somersworth Police Department and New Hampshire Attorney General's Drug Task Force investigated the two men for selling the drugs from their residence and upon completion of that investigation were able to obtain arrest warrants for the two as well as search warrants for their residence.

The search turned up heroin that totaled more than 100 grams in addition to $50,000 in cash. Several firearms were also seized from the home as well.

Sauvageau and Eaton are each being charged with sale of a controlled drug and possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute. Sauvageau was held on $50,000 cash bail while Eaton was released on $25,000 personal recognizance.

On Monday, a judge ordered Sauvageau held on $10,000 cash bail during his video arraignment at Dover Circuit Court. Sauvageau is next scheduled to appear in court for a probable cause hearing on Sept. 24.

Eaton is scheduled to appear for his arraignment in Dover Circuit Court on Oct. 4.
